The Solano Transportation Authority has honored Dixon Readi-Ride driver and dispatcher Vicki Jacobs, naming her Transit Employee of the Year.

Officials acknowledged that Dixon is the only agency in Solano that operates a curb-to-curb dial-a-ride service as the primary transit service. They described Jacobs as "invaluable," as she works as a driver in the morning and dispatcher in the afternoon.

"Multi-tasking and working in a high stress environment is the norm for Vicki's workday. Vicki has excellent work habits and is willing to take on any task given her," said officials in a statement. "She is a wonderful asset to the Readi-Ride team and provides safe and efficient transportation for the citizens of Dixon."
